Arise and Ruin was a Canadian metalcore band from Guelph, Ontario. Its members were Ryan Bauchman (vocals), Ben Alexis (bass), Derek Prince-Cox (drums), and guitarists Brent Munger, Matt Hammond, Sam Pattison, and Greg Richmond.
Arise and Ruin formed in 2005, and independently released the five-track EP Arise and Ruin. [1] [2] In 2005, the group toured Canada with Silverstein, Underoath, [3] Bleeding Through [4] and Protest the Hero. [5]
They then signed with Toronto's Stereo Dynamite Recordings and, in 2006, released the five-track EP The Fear Of. [6]

2007 was a difficult year for the band. In August 2008, they issued a news release which stated, in part: "the last year has been rough...We have been walked on, ignored, lied to, made to feel worthless, watched friends call it quits, persevered through personal struggles, [and] toured this continent endlessly." [10]
The band toured in 2008 with Emarosa and Dead and Devine. [11] [12]
In May 2009, they released the album Night Storms Hailfire, which was recorded and produced by Ian Blurton. [13] They performed their last show, on October 22, 2009, at Toronto's Mod Club Theatre, then disbanded. In 2010, Prince-Cox, Munger and Richmond formed the band Wakeless. [14]
